The Toronto Student Transportation Group is an initiative between both the Toronto Catholic District School Board and the Toronto District School Board. Our goal is to ensure the health and safety of our students through various modes of transportation and to help families make informed decisions regarding their transportation choices when accessing education here in Toronto.

E-Scooters – Not so Fast!
Did you know that it is illegal to ride an e-scooter in Ontario if you are under the age of 16. When considering how to get to and from school please know that e-scooters are not allowed on city of Toronto streets https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/streets-parking-transportation/transportation-projects/micromobility/electric-bicycles-e-bikes-e-scooters/ .
Data from sick kids https://www.aboutkidshealth.ca/healthaz/prevention/e-bicycles-e-scooters-and-other-electronic-recreational-devices-safety/?hub=injuryprev&hubSite=https://www.aboutkidshealth.ca/#/ shows students are at significant risk of injury when using those modes of transportation. We encourage our families to find active and safe modes of travel to and from school, but e-scooters do not fit the bill. All schools should have bike racks available to allow students to ride and store their bike at the school in a safe and secured manner.
